Ulzzang hairstyle Part I

Hello :) Now I'm back with another ulzzang post... It's Ulzzang hairstyle!

Did you know, that fashion wigs are really popular in Korea. Wigs comes in variety colour( but it's usually brown, dark brown, reddish brown) and style with price range around $60 - $100+. But the average price is $70 for long hair wigs.  There are lots of wigs brand; such as gabalmania, clair beauty, gabalnara, pinkage, and so on. But the most popular one is pinkage.

So, you can still look great, even though you don't have pretty hair. Of course I could say that the quality is nice. They look natural, and realistic with the hair parting.

 You can see from the left photo, it looks so natural and pretty :)
Just want to let you know that I got the picture from yesstyle, it's    a full wig  from pinkage collection.



 Hair colour

The main colour used usually from brown shades; such as dark brown, light brown, reddish brown, or even milk tea brown. But sometimes you can also see black haired ulzzang, or even blond haired ulzzang.






Hairstyle
1. Ponytail
You can simply tie your hair up, and then curl the ends.  You can also make a side ponytail, or low ponytail :)

2. Apple hair

You just need to tie your bangs area up. You can also curl the remaining hair, loose waves looks so great !

3. Pigtails


You just need to divide your hair into two, and then tie it. You can also braid the hair before you tie it.

4. Half updo

Bring your hair to the back of the head, then tie it.


5. Korean bun

You can use bun maker/ hair doughnut to achieve this look :)


6. Braided hairstyle
To get this look above you just need to bring your hair to the side, braid it and then tie it. Braided hairstyle can be anything. You can braid your hair then turn it into a headband, into an up do, or into an half up do.


 7. Accessorized

Accessories are important for your looks. If you use hair acc, you can instantly  looks cuter and more stand out. A popular hair acc back then is usamimi headband ( headband with tire inside it) and also bows, spiky headband, sparkling headband, and so on ~


I think that's all.. Thanks for reading :D

With love,

Complete basic Ulzzang makeup tips


Hello everyone ! Today I'm going to talk about ulzzang makeup :D

Ulzzang  means best face.  They are basically really pretty/ handsome people, or we could say people with "above average look"

They're usually Korean ( but sometimes Chinese/ Japanese).
But everyone could become an ulzzang even if they're not Korean and such too ! so don't worry :D

These are the keys to become an ulzzang :

1. Face
Having fair skin is everything in Korea .Korean just love "perfection" And this also goes for ulzzzang makeup.

They usually use BB cream for the base makeup. But now CC (color correcting) cream is widely used. CC cream has lighter coverage, and looks way natural on skin.. but BB cream covers imperfection better.

But  before even they use make up on, their skin condition is already really good to begin with ! They really took care of their skin, and their skin care routine is way complicated. They use lots of skin treatment. More than just "Cleanse-Tone-Moisturize"  It's needed to have porcelain doll like skin :D You can also use primer before bb cream,. Primer can cover pores, makes bb cream last longer and also make your skin looks smoother and more even !

Korean loves V shape jawline, so it's better to highlight & contour if you don't have V jawline.
You can also use blush (but don't use it too much, since they also don't really use it anyway)
But Naturalness is the key. And ulzzang style makeup is a really great example for no makeup- makeup( that I just really love!)

Tips :  Use makeup brushes for even better coverage. And don't forget to erase completely any imperfection ! Also be careful when you're picking your bb cream/ foundie shade, choose the right shade that close to your skin tone :) And don't forget to apply bb cream on your neck too !



2. Eye makeup + Brow 
Before you head to eye makeup, the first thing you'll need is circle lenses. Circle lenses is used to make the eyes looks bigger and more "dollish" .Circle lenses comes in variety color, but the most common one that is used is the black one, and followed by the brown one.
They don't really use fake eyelashes, but if they use it they'll use the natural type eyelashes. And the next thing that is really important is eyeliner. To line the outer liner with black/ brown eyeliner, will make the eyes looks even bigger and more stand out. Eye shadow is optional, but stick to natural colour such as brown and beige. And It's even better to use eyelid glue to make double eyelid ;)

Ulzzang stick to straight eyebrow.  Use eyeshadow/ brow powder + brow gel to neaten your eyebrow. ( pick brown/ grey colour)

 Tips : Use pearl/ white eyeshadow in your inner corner so your eyes  looks more dollish. Also try to accentuate your eye bags ( aegyo sal) so they looks more stand out with a bit of brown eyeshadow/ highlighter in the middle of the eyes ( Aegyo sal makes you look even more youthful and cuter!) And now etude house has cute eye maker.. makeup  product to make non permanent aegyosal.




3. Lips
Ulzzang usually has thin lips with natural pinkish colour. Another popular lip color is "just bitten" lips/ gradient lips . First you need to  apply lip balm before you use lip tint (and let it sit for a while) because lip tint is really really  drying. Then you can use lip concealer (to even out your lips colour and make the lip tint colour more vibrant) After that you use lip tint in the inner corner of your lips, then you can use lip gloss in the top of it. You  can also use lipstick in exchange for lip tint.

Tips : You can change lip concealer with bb cream/ foundation. Then it's better to exfoliate before, so the product works better (and also looks better!)



Hope this helps ! Have a good day :)
With love,
Elle ~
